Gilam,
Thanks for the great support and effort you are putting here. Just wanted your educated assessment on my MBAchances and compatibility with the different programs.
I would like to commence studying either in 09/07 or 09/08, and I prefer LBS as I have a EU passport so I'd like to work in the UK, have worked in an anglosaxian environment, but would also consider a top 10 Uni. in the US – NYC area or California.
The areas the interest me the most are either asset management/hedge funds or trading, and I would really like to work in the city of London upon graduating
a bit it about me:
I am 29 years old and have lived in the last 2 years in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Gmat 660 (I am not required to do a tofel, if I am not mistaken)
Education:
Studied Law and Political science in TAU. (Avg. ~80).
High School – I studied in a special program for gifted students with interdisciplinary emphasis ("Boier").
Post graduate diploma studies of applied finance and Investments – Securities institute of SA. (finished with Avg. of 88).
Work Exp.
Worked as an analyst for an Investment house in Tel Aviv during my 2-3 year at Uni.
Did my internship with a top tier law firm in TA, specializing in Corporate law.
Have been working for a year and a half as asset/portfolio manager in an Asset management company in Johannesburg.
Military Service: Officer (captain) with a combat unit.
Extra curricular activities: In Israel – moderating a learning program for underprivileged high school students, during university and during my internship.
In SA – member of an Israeli-SA young business leader organization – initiated a fund raising event for Israel.
Travelled vastliy in the US, Africa, S.America, Australia, India, etc.
How do you view my background? will the international exp. be a significant leverage? which areas need to be supported, or in other words where are my weaknesses?
Thanks very much and sorry for the long post, I just wanted to present you with the majority of the info.
